Publisher's Note

Sarah Byrnes and Eric have been friends for years. When they were children, his fat and her terrible scars made them both outcasts. Later, although swimming slimmed Eric, she stayed his closest friend.

Now Sarah Byrnes -- the smartest, toughest person Eric has ever known -- sits silent in a hospital. Eric must uncover the terrible secret she's hiding, before its dark currents pull them both under.



Industry Reviews
"Such superlatives as 'riveting' and 'powerful' can only hint at the craftsmanship on display in this transcendent story of love, loyalty, and courage. While probing such issues as friendship, free speech, and moral values, Crutcher tells a tale whose mordant humor, poignancy, and suspense pack a breathtaking wallop...Superb plotting, extraordinary characters, and crackling narrative make this novel one to be devoured in a single unforgettable sitting."

"Crutcher possesses a novelist's greatest asset: an ability to create people who are real and believable and about whom the reader can care deeply."

"A masterpiece...This type of novel is what many of today's YAs are looking for: sophisticated characters and plot, with a healthy dose of black humor."
Zvirin

"Pulse-pounding, on both visceral and intellectual levels--a wild brutal ride."
Zvirin
